About Your UST Computer Account 

The use of online library resources from off-campus is controlled by your UST username and password. This is the same username and password that you use to access your UST e-mail and other network resources. You must know your UST username and password (and it must be currently valid) to use the EZProxy Server.

(All questions regarding your UST computer account should be directed to the Tech Desk, 651-962-6230, or by email irthelp@stthomas.edu)

Your UST Username and Password

If you are a new student and wish to discover your computer account username and password, or are a returning student and wish to review your account, go to:

Changing Your Password/Password Expiration

You can change your account password at any time.  However, all UST computer account passwords are set to expire every 120 days and thus must be changed regularly.  

Users who log into machines on-campus will receive a warning regarding password expiration.  For other users, If your account suddenly stops functioning, this may be the explanation.  

The EZProxy server can detect expired passwords upon login.  You should be served a "Password Expired" error page which allows you to change your password, and, thus, gain immediate access.  

Otherwise, to change your password:

Requirements for UST Passwords 

For security reasons, your UST password must:
  • be at least 6 characters long, 
  • include at least three of the following: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, or punctuation marks. 
  • Your password may NOT include your first name, last name or username. 
  • Your new password may not closely resemble any of your last 5 passwords

If your password has expired, you will not be able to access the EZProxy Server until you change it.

Again, if you have any problems with your username or password, call the Tech Desk at 651-962-6230, or email irthelp@stthomas.edu.
